This is a finely cast bronze Hindu Mukhalinga, a symbolic representation of Shiva in his lingam form, featuring a sculpted human face and crowned by a fully opened cobra hood (naga). The cobra shelters the head, a traditional motif signifying divine protection, cosmic energy, and awakening of kundalini. The sculpture includes a small kneeling cow (Nandi) at the base, Shiva’s vahana (mount), placed before a stepped pedestal. The face of Shiva displays: • A sharp crown • Stylized features • Elongated earlobes with ornaments • And the third eye clearly visible on the forehead The sculpture is made of three detachable elements: the head/linga, the cobra hood, and the base. This modular design is typical of ritual pieces that may be used in home altars or temple shrines.
